Multi Trigger
triggering, the Sub Phatty prevents envelopes from
retriggering on subsequent notes unless you’ve released
the previous key. With multiple triggering, a new gate
occurs each time you play a note on the keyboard,
Single Trigger
regardless of whether you’ve released the previous key.
You can select single or multiple triggering separately for
the amplifier and filter envelopes.

When amplifier envelope keyboard tracking is enabled,
the amplifier’s envelope times will respond to how
high or how low you play on the keyboard. Engage

midi parameters
Shift mode lets you modify the Sub Phatty’s default MIDI settings. You can change the MIDI transmit
and receive channels, turn local control on and off, filter MIDI data, enable and disable fine-resolution
data recognition, and enable and disable the DIN or USB ports to send, receive, and merge MIDI data.
Changing some MIDI settings requires that you press two BANK buttons and one PATCH button in
Shift mode.
MIDI IN CHANNEL
By default, the Sub Phatty sends and receives data on
MIDI Channel 1, but you can set it to send or receive on
any MIDI Channel from 1 to 16.
Channel 2
Channel 4

MIDI OUT channel
To change the output channel, engage Shift mode and
press the BANK 1, BANK 4, and PATCH 2 buttons. The
next key you press will determine the output channel.
Channel 2
Pressing the low C selects Channel 1, C# selects
Channel 4
Channel 2, and so on, all the way up to D# above middle
C, which selects Channel 16.

MIDI OUTPUT FILTER
Volume Data
Filter OFF (Sends All Data)
Shift mode and press the BANK 2, BANK 4, and PATCH
2 buttons. Press the C# key to send everything except
volume data. Press the D key to send data from the
keyboard, MOD wheel, and PITCH wheel only, filtering
out everything else. Press the D# key to send only note
data when you play the keyboard. Pressing the C key
turns off the filter, ensuring that the Sub Phatty sends
all MIDI data (default).
GLOBAL PARAMETERS
35
Global NOTE PRIORITY
Because the Sub Phatty is monophonic, it will play
High-Note Priority
only one note at a time. What happens when you
press two keys at the same time? By default, it plays a
note in response to the most recent key you pressed,
regardless of its position. This is called last-note priority.
You can change that behavior, however, so that it will
Last-Note Priortiy
Low-Note Priority
play either the lowest or the highest note when you
press more than one key.
KNOB MODE

SYSTEM COMMANDS
Whenever you invoke a system command, you cause some kind of irreversible change. For this reason,
each command requires that you press a key twice to confirm your choice. Once you’ve selected a
command, press the C# key twice to invoke it, or press the C key to cancel it.
INITIALIZE PRESET
Engage Shift mode and press BANK 3, BANK 4, and PATCH 1. Press C# twice to
reset all the Shift-mode parameters to their default settings.
36
initialize global parameters
Engage Shift mode and press BANK 3, BANK 4, and PATCH 2. Press C# twice to
reset the global parameters (Local Control, MIDI Output Filter, Use Preset Volume,
Use Preset MOD Wheel, Note Priority, Knob Wheel) to their default setting.
NOTE CALIBRATION
Engage Shift mode and press BANK 3, BANK 4, and PATCH 4. Press C# twice to
run a full-range note calibration routine for the two oscillators. This will ensure that
the oscillators remain in tune in every octave throughout their entire pitch range.
37
send all presets
Engage Shift mode and press the BANK 3, BANK 4, PATCH 3, and PATCH 4
buttons. Press C# twice to send all 16 presets to your computer as a single Preset
Bank file. If you record this MIDI system exclusive data on your computer and
then send it back to the Sub Phatty, it will replace all 16 presets stored in the Sub
Phatty’s memory.
MIDI OPERATIONS
MIDI CHANNEL
By default, the Sub Phatty is set to receive and send MIDI on Channel 1, but it can be configured to
send and receive to MIDI Channel (1-16).
